Most electric fuel pumps are loud.  Be sure to mount it on a pad of some =
kind.  But =E2=80=93 you really can=E2=80=99t hear it above the engine.

What brand pump are you installing? =20

When I converted my 1960 TR3A to an electric fuel pump I went with a =
Facet mounted below the fuel tank but it was really loud. My local shop, =
British Motorsports, recommended the Hardi fuel pump.  You can mount if =
by the fuel tank or in the engine compartment.  It will push or pull and =
is very quiet.  Initially I installed it in my engine compartment, but =
later on I wanted to install a coolant overflow bottle and needed the =
room, so moved it to the back, so I=E2=80=99ve had it do both.  =

Stuart,

I mounted my pump at the rear of the boot well. Remember filter before =
the pump. I replaced the mechanical pump with a regulator with gauge. =
Some one on this list sells the plate that blocks off the spot where the =
pump used to be.

I have the same pump and system on all 3 of my TRs.

58 3, 62 4 and 72 6. No problems in almost 20 years.

Do mount the pump with some rubber washers.

Bob
